A FINE ESTABLISHMENT.
The LaBelle Glass Company to Rebuild Its
Works at a Cost of 100000.

The LaBelle Glass Company to Rebuild Its
Works at a Cost of SlOO, 900.
As stated several days since, the La
Belle Glass Company has decided to re-
build upon the old site, the finest factory
in this section of the country. This morn
ing work will be commenced upon the ex-
cavations for the foundations Of the new
building, and will be pushed rapidly for
ward.
One factory will be 80 by 125 feet, p
feet larger than the former one, aud two
stories high. The other building, in which
will be located the mould shop, packing
department, warehouse, etc, etc. is to be
90 by 1872 feet, and three stories high.
The new buildings will be composed OF
stone, brick and iron, and no wood will be
used except for window frames.
The work of rebuilding will be pushed
vigorously night and day and it is expect
ed to have the building completed by JAN
nary LIST. The cost of it alone will be
from $50, 900 TO $50, 900. 1t will be sup
piled with all the latest and best machin-
cry for the manufacture Of its wares, and
will be fitted throughout in the best posi-
BILE manner. When complete and ready TO
manufacture glassware the new establish
ment will represent about $1,000 600 IN
round numbers and there is not much
doubt that the LaBelle Company will have
the finest glass mandatory in the whole
Ohio Valley.

This test showed the relative value of a
pound of each kind to be as follows:

In obtaining the above results two tests
were made of the sd cut nail, and four OF
the II wire nail; three tests each were
made Of the Cd and I'D cut nails, and I'd
and i'd wire nails, and the average is
shown.
The variation in the results of the two
tests arose from the fact that the wood
used in the fIst tests was n White pine
scantling, while in the latter a scantling
of Norway pine was used, which Is a harder
wood than White pine.
The two tests show the relative value
to be: / pound OF cut nails has a holding
power equal to 1.62 pounds of wire nails
in the first test, and LIS pounds in the
second.
The second test, as shown above, was
made in the presence Of the undersigned
committee, in the following manner:
The nails were driven to within q quar-
ter of an inch of the head, and weights
attached until the nails pulled out. Care
was exercised throughout to make the
test Il fair one. The wood used was
straight grained and free from knots and
Curls.
We do not doubt that a variety of tests
would show a variety of results, depend
ing upon the character of the wood used,
but we do not believe that the relative
holding power of the two kind of nails
would differ much from that shown above
ON auy fair test.
We, therefore, submit as the result Of
our test, that one dollars worth of cut
nails will give the same service as one
dollar and se~yenty-eight cents spent in
wire nails, if at the same price per pound.
Or to state the case in another way, the
tests show that if the card for cut nails is
81 90 for 10d, the card for wire nails
should be SLIP 3-10 for lOd to give the
same value to the purchaser.

The Death of Robert Il. Woods, Early
Yesterday MOrnlng.
Our citizens were not surprised, yester-
day, when the news was Brought TO town
that Robert b. Woods was dead. For
months he has been lying at his suburban
residence at Elm Grove, suffering untold
tortures from disease, and the marked I'M
favorable turn which his malady Ia"
taken within the past three or four days,
after an interval of improvement, cast the
shadow of the grave where even the mem
bers of the family could see it, and warned
them that the worst must be expected.
Yesterday morning, just after six O'Clock,
the end came, AMI the long combat with
an incurable malady ceased. The sad
news was soon brought TO the city, and
created universal sorrow. The dead man
a i~avorite everywhere, and many were
the expressions of regret from those who
heard the news.

Andrew Z. Woods, and was born in Ohio

lowed it for many years. In 1S4S he went
to California with the late Benoni Good,
and was on the Western coast in advance
of the most venturesome Of the ArgOnauts
of 40. He remained in California two
years, when he returned to this city, and

tice of his profession as a civil engineer, but
was again called to official life, succeed
ing James Quarter as Clerk Of the Board
of Commissioners, he having succeeded for
a brief time Charles Deiters. Mr.. Woods

GOVERNMENT TESTS.
The RoyaIB aking Powder Declared
Superior to all others.

The fact that Royal Baking Powder is, in all respects,
the best baking powder offered to the public has been
established beyond question.
Prof. II. A. Mott, when employed by the I. S. Govern
ment to analyze the various baking powders of the market
70 determine which was the best and most economical, after
an extended investigation, reported in favor of the Royal,
and it was adopted for government use.
Prof. Mott has continued his examinations of baking
powders sold at the present day, and now afirms it as his
deliberate Judgment, arrived at after most thorough research
and q careful examination of the principal brands of the
market, that the Royal is undoubtedly the purest and most
reliable baking powder offered to the public. Prof Mott, in
his recent report, says:
"The Royal Baking Powder is absolutely pure, for l
have so found it in many tests made both for that company
and the U. S. Government.
81 will go still further and state that, because Of the
facilities that company have for obtaining perfectly pure
cream of tartar, and for other reasons dependent upon the
proper proportions of the same, and the method of its
preparation, the Royal Baking Powder is undoubtedly the
purest and most reliable. baking powder offered to the
public. Dr.. HENRY A. MOTT, PnD'

ALL A MISTAKE.

Nc Law Passed by the Late Legislature
Assessing a Special Tax on Drummers
''Was there a law passed by the late
Legislature levying a special tax on drum
mers selling by sampler" asked a REGIS
TER reporter of Representative j. ]. Woods
yesterday.
"No, SIR" was the reply. ''The only
law I know of which could possibly bt
looked upon by the commercial men az
relating to them, is the Act introduced by
Delegate John P. Jones, of Preston, in the
House, and which was passed by both
Houses. This law in no way bears upon
the drummers. Its sole intent and pur'
pose is to reach the class of men who COM
here with stocks of goods and open them
out at auction, to the serious injury of our
home merchants. lrecollect a case of this
kind in point. Last winter about the
holidays, q book dealer came here and
opened up stock next door to one of our
own booksellers. The consequence was
that the latter, a resident and taxpayer,
suffered serious injury. The bill intro
duced by Delegate Jones was designed to
catch this very class Of folks. The law was
as follows:
"'Any person or persons offering for sale
or furnishing for sale by auction any goods
or merchandise not assessed for the pur-
pose of taxation, in any county of this
State, as provided by Sec. IS of Chap. 30
of the Code, shall be required to obtain Il
permit from the Clerk of the County Court
of said county before Offering the said
goods ior sale at auction or otherwise, for
which permit the sum Of 81 on each 500
valuation ofsaid goods shall be assessed.
"'Any person or persons Offering any
goods or merchandise for sale in any
county in this State, not assessed for the
purposes of taxation, shall be required to
have the same assessed by the Assessor OF
said county and said assessment shall be
the same as the other assessments in said
county.
I'm Ease any person shall refuse or
neglect to obtain the permit, as aforesaid,
or have said goods or merchandise assessed
as herein required, he shall be liable in
Tie uISJ lUSIduCc W uOublC thO hSNhoS
quired in the first section of this act, and
in the second instance the Assessor shall
add a penalty for said failure Of 100 per
cent. to the regular assessment, as atore-
said
1.-The fourth section provides Tor the
collection of the tax by the Assessors.
"There has been no change in the law
in regard to selling goods by sample, and
the commercial men can go on and ply
their business, as heretofore. The law in
relation to ~peddlers, under which |
imagine the proceedings taken by Justice
a day or two ago were had, has been in
force for several years. There was a law
passed in the House, at the session of 1882,
imposing a tax of $50 on drummers, but
the measure was killed in the Senate. The
whole scare seems to have been the result
of a misunderstanding"

able character among some of our State ex-

there is the young man and his best girl,
inst after the Opera House and the Grand

enters their sweet young minds is oysters
at the Brunswick, or quail on toast; for be
it remembered that the season is Just at its
height for both these choice dishes, and
ll35 and 1877 Market street is the place to
get them.
